Victas V > 11 Extra is a high-quality offensive table tennis rubber, ITTF-approved, manufactured in Germany, and designed for a new generation of top-level players seeking a rubber that combines the characteristics of the V > 15 series with reduced weight. Thanks to innovative "Lightning Tension" technology and a new material composition, the V > 11 Extra is approximately 10% lighter than the V > 15 Extra while maintaining the same high performance level. The new 47.5° hardness sponge with "High Energy Tension" technology ensures a powerful and fast (~14.5/20) combination with excellent feel, while the optimized grippy topsheet generates aggressive spin (~14.5/20). This rubber is ideal for aggressive attacking players who favor powerful topspin strokes, counter-topspin attacks, and varied play at the table and mid-distance. The V > 11 Extra offers an excellent balance between speed, spin, and control (~8.8/20), making it a great choice for players who want a lighter rubber without compromising power and spin.

Unique Features and Playing Characteristics:

Victas V > 11 Extra is a premium offensive rubber designed for players who want the power and spin characteristics of the V > 15 series but prefer a lighter racket. Its "Lightning Tension" technology reduces the rubber's weight by approximately 10% (compared to the V > 15 Extra, which weighs ~71 g before trimming), making the V > 11 Extra lighter (~64 g) while maintaining high performance. The grippy topsheet ensures excellent ball grab, enabling aggressive topspin shots and strong spin variations (~14.5/20). The hard (~47.5°) open-pore sponge with "High Energy Tension" technology provides a strong catapult effect, high speed (~14.5/20), and excellent feel, facilitating powerful opening topspins, counter-topspin attacks, and flat hits in mid-distance play. Although control (~8.8/20) is lower than in other Victas rubbers, such as the V > 15 Limber (~11.5/20 control), the V > 11 Extra compensates with its power, spin, and lighter weight, making it suitable for advanced players confident in their technique. The rubber effectively neutralizes the opponent's spin, easing serve returns, counter-topspins, and topspin blocking.

Top Sheet Composition:

The V > 11 Extra topsheet is grippy and optimized for aggressive spin, ensuring prolonged ball contact and excellent grip. This surface allows for strong topspin shots, dangerous spin variations on serves, and precise placement. The topsheet effectively counters the opponent's spin, making it suitable for counter-spin rallies and precise blocking at the table. The grippy surface also provides sufficient control on passive returns and varied serves, enabling precise ball trajectory control.

Sponge:

The hard (~47.5°) open-pore sponge (available in 2.0 mm or Max thickness) with "Lightning Tension" and "High Energy Tension" technologies gives the rubber a strong catapult effect, a firm feel, and high speed. The 2.0 mm sponge suits players seeking balanced power and control, while the Max thickness enhances speed and attacking potential, making it ideal for aggressive forehand players. Compared to the Victas V > 15 Extra (~47.5° sponge, ~14.8/20 speed, ~11.3/20 control, ~13.8/20 spin), the V > 11 Extra offers slightly lower speed (~14.5/20), higher spin (~14.5/20), and lower control (~8.8/20). Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~14.5/20 speed, ~11.0/20 control, ~14.5/20 spin), the V > 11 Extra provides similar speed and spin but lower control, though it is lighter and more attack-oriented.

Spin and Trajectory:

The V > 11 Extra boasts extremely high spin potential (~14.5/20), particularly on topspin shots, varied serves, and counter-topspin strokes. Due to the grippy topsheet and hard sponge, the rubber generates a balanced trajectory (6.8/10), facilitating topspin attacks, mid-distance rallies, and aggressive shots. The rubber effectively neutralizes the opponent's spin, making it suitable for players facing strong topspin shots and easing serve reception and blocking.

Control:

The V > 11 Extra offers lower control (~8.8/20) than other Victas rubbers, such as the V > 15 Limber (~11.5/20 control), but compensates with its power, spin, and lighter weight. The rubber suits advanced players who trust their technique and can utilize its speed and spin for precise serves, returns, blocks, and powerful topspin shots. Compared to the Xiom Vega Pro (~13.8/20 speed, ~11.0/20 control), the V > 11 Extra provides higher speed and spin but lower control.

Technical Ratings:

• Speed (116/100, ~14.5/20): High speed for topspin shots, flat hits, and opening attacks. Comparable to Butterfly Tenergy 05 (~14.5/20 speed).

• Control (70/100, ~8.8/20): Lower control, especially on passive strokes, but sufficient for advanced players executing precise serves, returns, and blocks. Compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 (~11.5/20 control), the V > 11 Extra offers lower control but higher speed and spin.

• Spin (116/100, ~14.5/20): Extremely high spin, especially on topspin shots, varied serves, and counter-topspins. Similar to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~14.0/20 spin) but with higher speed.

Playing Aspects:

• Topspin Strokes: 9.5/10 – Highly effective topspin shots with a balanced trajectory, ideal for aggressive opening strokes and counter-topspin rallies.

• Backspin Strokes: 8.6/10 – Strong backspin shots, suitable for spin variation and short play.

• Blocking: 9.2/10 – Effective in blocking topspin shots at the table, with excellent spin neutralization.

• Push Shots: 8.5/10 – Precise pushes against backspin or dead balls, with good spin variation.

• Chopping: 8.1/10 – Adequate backspin generation, suitable for defensive play.

• Counter-Hitting: 9.4/10 – Stable counter-attacks at the table and mid-distance.

• Smashing: 9.5/10 – Powerful flat hits with high accuracy.

• Serves & Returns: 9.3/10 – Effective in varying serves and precise returns (passive return 9.2/10, active return 9.3/10).

• Flick Shots: 9.1/10 – Effective banana flicks with excellent spin and control.

Blade Compatibility:

Victas V > 11 Extra pairs well with stiff and fast offensive blades that complement its speed, spin, and light weight:

• Victas Dyna Carbon (~14.0/20 speed, OFF): Enhances the rubber's speed and attacking potential, ideal for aggressive players.

• Butterfly Viscaria (~14.5/20 speed, OFF+): Amplifies power and spin potential, suitable for advanced attackers.

• Donic Ovtcharov No. 1 Senso (~14.0/20 speed, OFF): Improves stability and precision, ideal for powerful strokes.

• Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon (~13.8/20 speed, OFF): Great for players seeking a balance of speed and spin.

• Butterfly Lin Gaoyuan ALC (~13.5/20 speed, OFF-): Suitable for players who prefer a softer feel and lighter control.

It is recommended to use the V > 11 Extra with a Max sponge on the forehand side of stiff offensive blades (e.g., Butterfly Viscaria) or with a 2.0 mm sponge on the backhand side of all-round blades (e.g., Butterfly Lin Gaoyuan ALC) to maintain racket balance and maximize speed, spin, and lightweight potential. The rubber's lighter weight allows pairing with heavier blades while maintaining overall balance.

Additional Information:

Victas V > 11 Extra is a premium offensive rubber combining high speed (~14.5/20), spin (~14.5/20), and sufficient control (~8.8/20) for advanced players.
